Congratulations tonyfoale - your Horizontal Milling Machine is the Tool of the Week!

An unusual build; not sure whether to list it as a horizontal milling machine, a surface grinder, or a tool and cutter grinder. Its provenance and longevity probably pushed it above some other excellent entries this week, as well as its ability to keep morphing into different tools.

Other nice entries this week included a Wood Lathe by connan, a Screw Size Gauge by mklotz, and a MT02 Center Drill by Cascao. There were some other good builds by tonyfoale this week, including methods for Cylinder Boring and Tailstock Alignment. Finally, there's also a rare but not yet completed Vapor Blasting Cabinet by archimeech in the works.

tonyfoale - you'll be receiving one of our official HomemadeTools.net T-shirts:


Please PM me a mailing address, black/white color choice, and size preference, and I'll get it mailed out shortly.

And, we've added the wrench-on-pedestal award to the awards showcase in your postbit, visible beneath your username:




Congrats again and nice job!
